why not try z-series for handycam?
( K-series ) = Cyber shot
( W-series ) = Walkman
( Z-series ) = HandyCam

I think u guys ask for a li'l bit too much. It's juz simply a slider form of the current line of Walkman phones. Juz consider it as a slider form of W810. Nah. However, it converges the range of Walkman series. And oh, cool nav button =p

U talk like theres no possible upgrade besides camera and since thats destined to the k line we have to think this´ phones specs are great. They r not. 1gb is cool but is not an upgrade, one could just get a big card and if this is about memory 1gb is not that much. Se could start using symbian os, tv, or improve the video recording in the mid-end line for example, make a game device using the sony brand, i dunno, but just a real upgrade would be nice.

For all the people that don't understand...

If sony ericsson were to give the walkman (w) phones the same camera's as the cyber shot series, then they would have to give the cyber shot (k) series the same walkman abilities as the walkman (w) series...

K series (Cyber-Shot) = Camera

W series (Walkman) = Music

SE have made this fone purely for mp3 lovers, so anyone who is into photography then your looking at the wrong place, hence they are bringing out the SEK800 for your likeing.

Reason for the 2.0 mega pixel camera has to be price.

They're already giving you a 1Gb Micro Stick. If they were also to give you a 3.2 camera the final package would be far too expensive.

Going by the model number this will be almost the top of the range Walkman phone as it is.

i hope an i-phone would be released so SE could learn how to make a real music phone! Not just another remote-control-looking-phone. it looks cheap, or to be fair, sporty, but not definitely classy.

as long as it has mp3,good camera and 3g, i'm happy. =) any idea as to when it'll be released?

I didnt like the design very much with the slider thing and wierd keypad beneath the screen... perhaps this is a smaller w900? I honestly find this phone just uninteresting. Phones with nice cams, media player and radio have been out there for a VERY long time. C´mon gimme something really new instead of selling the same thing dressed in 1000 different forms. Since k750/w800 all mid-end phones have just cosmetic upgrades. How about symbian os? tv? a real change in cam instead of just a few extra pixels? Hum... the good part of all that is i see now that getting a w800 was a very good investment thats gonna last for a very long time...
At the same time nokia keeps going further...

I think it looks beautiful, I swear you guys don't no what you are talking about, just little kids that are soo spoilt and wants bloody eveythink in the fones, but sorry you aint going to have it. in a next few you guys will be crying bcoz it don't have a microwave in it, like some members have said it a walkman fone not a cyber shot camera fone, if you want a 3.2 cam fone then wait for the k800 simple. and for a walkman fone I think they done a brilliant job on it, its more like integrated a fone to a mp3 player.

Damn another Walkman?! Don't SE have enough of them!

this is the worst ever designed Walkman phone combined with "cliche" features. again, no ground breaking innovation, just the same old SE concept, too plain and limited.

Slider is such a modernistic form factor, but sad to say, for me, it did not work out for the rumored W850i. it is so ugly. W900i looks better than that.

in addition, its camera, very out-dated. i have seen lots of 2 mpx camera phone and it is getting suffocating. they could have put 3.2 mpx.

for this i would say, nokia phones, nowadays, are more practical and feature-rich. that's why nokia sells lot of phone than any other phone manufacturing companies. basically, because, i think, they consider "benefit of the doubt".

BUT SONY ERICSSON DO YOU?

It should have been a a3.2Mpx, since, the K800i already has that.....
On 16 May 20:59 nelly6602 wrote
nooo nooo not again it's the same as S 700i
and 2.0 mp camera fffF do something new like 5.0 or more and the form is just not good !!!
On 16 May 20:26 scapevlocity wrote
my bad... it's a slider. definitely getting it, then. =p
On 16 May 20:25 Clubber wrote
It's not an 3,2 mp because the k800/790. They don't want an inside concurent 4 it.

the uglyness ooze on this ugly phone!
On 16 May 19:37 Xugaa wrote
because the 'w' series is aimed at the music, hence walkman branded. where as the 'k' series is aimed at the camera, hence cyber-shot branded. the 'k' series does not have the walkman music abilities of the 'w' series, so why should the 'w' series have the 'k' series' camera abilities...?

i like the look of that
however its just a 2 mega pixel camera why not the 3.2
